Ipiranga

Ipiranga (V17) was a corvette of the Imperial Marinheiro class constructed for the Brazilian Navy. The ship was laid down in 1953 and launched in 1954. The vessel entered service in 1955 and was primarily used for enforcement of Brazil's territorial waters and district patrols. Based on a sea-going tugboat design, the corvette was also capable of performing coast guard duties such as towing and was equipped for firefighting. Ipiranga could also be converted for minesweeping and minelaying duties. In 1961, Ipiranga was deployed to prohibit French encroachment on Brazilian fisheries. In 1983, the corvette struck an underwater pinnacle and sank off the northeast coast of Brazil.
